The chairman of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in Akure South local government, Ondo State, Oluwatuyi Olasoji, tragically passed away following a collapse at a filling station.
The incident occurred as Olasoji waited in a long queue to purchase fuel amid Nigeria’s ongoing fuel scarcity crisis.
According to reports from Sunshine Truth, a local tabloid, the NULGE leader slumped last week at a fuel station in the state capital, Akure.
He was immediately rushed to the Federal Medical Centre in Owo, where he underwent surgery. Unfortunately, despite medical efforts, Olasoji passed away on Monday, September 9, Sahara Reporters confirmed.
Fuel scarcity has worsened in recent weeks, with long queues forming at petrol stations nationwide. This has caused severe traffic disruptions and led to increased transport fares.
According to NNPCL, “The market has been deregulated, meaning that petrol prices are now determined by market forces rather than by the government or NNPC Ltd. Additionally, the exchange rate plays a significant role in influencing these prices.”
